Ephesians 4:11-16 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

¹¹ And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, ¹² for the equipping of the ^[a]saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; ¹³ until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the ^[b]knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature ^[c]which belongs to the fullness of Christ. ^14 [d]As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness ^[e]in deceitful scheming; ¹⁵ but ^[f]speaking the truth in love, ^[g]we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, ¹⁶ from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together ^[h]by what every joint supplies, according to the ^[i]proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.
